This pie was exceptional. I did use lemon juice in place of the vinegar and doubled the filling. There would definitely not been enough filling had you followed the recipe. I used a 9 inch pie pan. Will definitely make again.

My husband was been begging for a raisin pie for his birthday for the past 10 years. I found this one and decided to give it a try. It was wonderful! I was very skeptic of liking it, but I will make it again and again. It was so easy! I did use lemon juice and zest and Iadded Bacardi rum and vanilla extract to the water when I cooked the raisins. I am very pleased!

OH YEAH!!! My family absolutely love this pie. The only thing I will do differently the next time I make it is double the filling recipe to better fill my deep dish pie pans. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!!!

This wasn't what I expected. If you really, really like raisins, then you would probably rate this 5 stars.

Maybe I did something wrong, but it didn't thicken up like my grandmother's use to I think next time I will add some corn starch but other wise it was good tasting

The lemon juice and the lemon zest make this pie a little too lemony for me. I'll cut back on the zest to about 1/2 next time and this will be a 5-star pie.

This is a wonderful pie! My dad has been requesting a raisin pie for weeks. My mother (now deceased) used to make Dad raisin pies, but I never got her recipe, and I have not been able to find the one she used. I printed this receipe off and made it without making any changes. It was delicious! My dad loved it and said it was the best raisin pie he has ever had, and he has had many raisin pies over the years! I think this had to be my mom's recipe. It is very easy to make, and it tastes great! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!

This recipe is fantastic. I use Splenda brown sugar blend to cut back on the sugar and the pie disappears.

I went looking for a raisin pie recipe for my dad. When I gave it to him, he said it tasted just like the ones my grandmom used to make. It was just what I was looking for.

To be fair, this is the first raisin pie I've tried. Maybe we just don't like raisin pie. It tasted like raisins in a crust--nothing special or spectacular. I won't make this recipe again.

Good as is, but adding finely grated lemon zest and lemon juice (instead of vinegar) makes for more depth of flavor. Once I did this, my mother-in-law (whose family was Pennsylvania Dutch) thought the taste was "just right."

My grandma used to make half moon raisin pies. She would roll out small pie crusts about 8in in diameter and fold them over and pinch the sides, and they were delicious! This is the same recipe, only in one big pie instead of small ones. She didn't put vinegar in her raisins.

Made this for my father, who hadn't had a raisin pie in years. Served with vanilla ice cream and was a big hit.

I found this recipe by accident, and remembered I've had a raisin pie as a kid, tho I don't remember where. Easy to make, using a ready made pie crust, and it was a hit. My wife, who doesn't even CARE for raisins liked it. It was a hit at our church supper as well. This is a keeper!

I made this for my husband's birthday, because he loves raisin pie, and he really loves this one! I made a few changes---I substituted 1/4 cup of spiced rum for an equal amount of the water, I used lemon juice in place of the vinegar, and I used a mix of golden raisins with regular raisins, because I have found golden raisins to plump more and be sweeter/tastier. Love this pie!

Very very tasty.... The only change I made was to add about a cup of homemade applesauce under the raisins as I love apple and raisin together, and like lots of filling in my pie.
